A CHARITY cricket tournament to honour an ex-Darfield teenage player who died tragically has been arranged.
The tournament is being held on May 5 at Darfield's ground as a memorial to former player Ritchie Taylor.
Ritchie, of Morrison Place, Darfield died aged 16 in 2011 of a brain tumour.
Ritchie's elder brother Tom Taylor, 28, said: "As a family we have had a lot to do with the cricket club and it's great of them to put on a day like this.
"Ritchie had struggled with his health from being six but he still managed to play cricket and open the batting and the bowling."
Money raised on the day will be handed over to charity PACT.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
